Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Is this an evil food/feed too? Yesterday I ordered 30 pounds of seed for 2004 planting. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why it's evil except that it is a grain. A fair number of folks are allergic to corn, but not as many as wheat. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Dennis, If the OP is open pollinated its a lot less evil than the hybrids or genetically engineereds. Closer to the original slower digesting corn carb chain. Is it Golden Bantam? Thats what Dad grew for selling and pigs 40 years ago. > Is this an evil food/feed too?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 ---Wanita I bought six shooter op sweet corn. The kernels are shriveled indicating very little nutrient content. A nutrient dense kernel is supposed to be plump. I'm interested whether the seeds I grow are plump after drying. Moisture content of raw corn will affect kernel I'm sure. Good news is: I received seeds already.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Dennis, Not familiar with six shooter. Not sure what you mean here with plumpness and nutrient density. Would think hybridization would produce more sugar and plumpness and not necessarily more nutrition. Sweeter taste is the purpose there. Carb chains are different in open pollinated varieties so they may fill less space and be more nutritious. > ---Wanita I bought six shooter op sweet corn.
